Instructions
Answer the following, rounding all numbers to the nearest dollar.
(a) Assuming that Zoppas Leasing desires a 10% rate of return on its investment, use time value of money tables, a financial calculator, or computer spreadsheet functions to calculate the amount of the annual rental payment that is required.
(b) Prepare an amortization schedule using a computer spreadsheet that would be suitable for the lessor for the lease term.
(c) Prepare all of the journal entries for the lessor for 2014 and 2015 to record the lease agreement, the receipt of lease payments, and the recognition of income. Assume that Zoppas prepares adjusting journal entries only at the end of the fiscal year.
